  • Example compositions are formulated.
  • Example compositions 1A and 1B are comparative compositions.
  • Example composition 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B are invention compositions. The compositions are formed by combining and mixing the respective components, and are evaluated using various test methods described below. Additional details are described and illustrated in Tables I through IV below.

  • the composition of Example 1 consists of a dithiophosphate derivative of formula (I) above, where each of R 1 and R 2 is isobutyl, R 3 is hydrogen, n is 1, and m is 1. Said another way, the composition is "free" (or unreacted) dithiophosphate derivative.
  • the dithiophosphate derivative is generally classified as an antiwear compound, and is commercially available from BASF Corporation. No additional components have been added.
  • the composition of Example 2 consists of the dithiophosphate derivative of Example 1 that has been neutralized with an amine, specifically with ditridecyl amine. Said another way, the dithiophosphate derivative and the amine have been reacted in an equimolar amount to form the composition. No additional components have been added.
  • the composition of Example 3 consists of the dithiophosphate derivative of Example 1 that has been neutralized with another amine, specifically with a polyamine polyisobutene (PIB) dispersant. Said another way, the dithiophosphate derivative and the amine have been reacted in an equimolar amount to form the composition.
  • the amine has a molecular weight of 2,225 Da, a nitrogen content of 1.22 wt.%, and is commercially available from Infineum USA L.P. No additional components have been added.
  • each of the Example "A" compositions includes 50 ppm phosphorus imparted by the dithiophosphate derivative.
  • the ditridecyl amine does not hurt pump performance.
  • the polyamine does hurt pump performance. It is thought that the polyamine could be suspending the dithiophosphate derivative in solution thereby not allowing the antiwear compound to reach the surface of the composition.

  • each of the Example “B” compositions are the same as the corresponding Example “A” compositions.
  • each of the Example “B” compositions includes 500 ppm phosphorus imparted by the dithiophosphate derivative (rather than 50 ppm). It is thought that utilizing 50 ppm of phosphorous makes passage of the pump tests challenging, while utilizing 500 ppm of phosphorous makes passage of sludge tests challenging.
  • the ditridecyl amine helps in sludge. It is thought that the ditridecyl amine could be acting as a dispersant. It is thought that the polyamine is most likely dispersing sludge.

  • Zinc compatibility is assessed by filtration indices and the test is based on AFNOR NF E 48-693. The calculation gives an indication of compatibility by dividing the time to filter the last 100 mL of oil by the first 50 mL of oil (which is multiplied by 2 to give a proper ratio). If the filtration index is >1 then it can be concluded that the filter is being blocked by insolubles and the formulation is not zinc compatible. If the filtration index is 1 then the oil is deemed perfectly compatible.
  • GC Gas chromatography
  • H 2 S generation in PPM is then calculated based upon an internal standard.
  • the invention compositions each have far less than 10 ppm H 2 S.
  • the invention compositions have increased thermal stability relative to the comparative compositions.
